E-MAIL: Linda M. Kendrick, Linda.M.Kendrick@lerc.nasa.gov. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) intends to procure One IMAGE ACQUISITION SYSTEM. The SYSTEM shall include (a) Acquisition System Software, (b) One Frame Grabber Board, (c) One CCD Camera [NOTE: TWO CAMERAS ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED, BUT LeRC ALREADY POSSESSES ONE KODAK ES 1 CAMERA, WHICH PERFORMS ACCEPTABLY FOR THIS PURPOSE], and (d) all connecting hardware, cables, etc. The SYSTEM shall run on a Pentium PC platform, under the Windows NT operating system. The SYSTEM shall include all hardware to connect the CCD Camera to the controlling computer. [NOTE: The controlling computer is not being purchasedunder this acquisition.] The SYSTEM shall be capable of acquiring images from a 1000x1000 pixel CCD sensor at 30 frames per second directly into the host PC memory. The SYSTEM shall utilize the PCI Bus interface for DMA transfers directly to the host PC memory. The SYSTEM shall also be capable of acquiring pairs of image frames form the CCD camera with software-controlled "frame straddling" exposures. ["Frame Stradling" enables high effective framing rates from a standard 30 frame per second camera.] The SYSTEM shall also provide means for controlling external pulsed laser firing which is synchronized to the double exposure camera image acquisition. At minimum, the SYSTEM shall include the following components: (a) High Resolution (at least 1000x1000), (b) Pixel CCD Sensor operating at 30 frames per second and capable of operating in double exposure mode (as defined by Kodak ES 1.0 Operation Manual), (c) Image Acquisition Interface Board utilizing PCI interface, (d) Software for control of all image acquisition, exposure setting, and file saving operations, and (e) support for control of external pulsed laser firing [NOTE: Vendor may presume a YAG-type Laser; the Laser is not being purchased under this procurement]. The ACQUISITION SOFTWARE shall contain the following capabilities: Basic image acquisition and control via software, image manipulation and file saving in TIFF, GIF, PCX, BMP, JPEG and Flat Binary Files, where the first two elements are long integers defining the x and y dimensions of the image, followed by the 1 byte per pixel raw image data. In addition, the ACQUISITION SOFTWARE shall include support for simutaneous image acquisition from two CCD cameras (KODAK ES 1.0 or equivalent) at sustained rates of 30 frames per second from each camera. Simulteneous image acquisition shall also support the double exposure operating mode of the CCD camera. The ACQUISITION SOFTWARE shall permit image sequence acquisition into PC memory, image sequence playback, and storage to disk. The provisions and clauses inthe RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-03. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The SIC code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 5043 and 100 employees, respectively. The quoter shall state in their quotation their size status for this procurement.
